- Abstract : Long neglected by critical literature and historians, the Neapolitan journal Sud (1945–1947) shared similar aims and objectives with the more famous Il Politecnico, although the two journals were inserted into and connected with lively yet different cultural environments and networks, which crucially influenced their outputs. Most notably, both journals paid significant attention to politically committed literary and essay translations. By combining an analysis of the journals' articles and translations with the editors' published and unpublished correspondence, the article reassesses the journals' relationship and illuminates the engagement of the two editorial boards through translations. The analysis of the two intellectual networks and projects will re-establish the relevance of Sud in stimulating a transnational dialogue and will reconsider the role of translation in shaping the editors' political identities. Finally, the article offers a geo-cultural perspective on post-war Italian impegno by charting its multiple, both national and transnational, identities.

Italian summary: A lungo dimenticata dalla letteratura critica e dagli storici, la rivista napoletana Sud (1945-47) condivideva obiettivi e progetti con il più famoso Il Politecnico, sebbene le due riviste fossero inserite in ambienti e reti intellettuali del tutto diversi. In particolare, entrambe pubblicarono traduzioni di saggi e opere letterarie politicamente orientati. Intrecciando l'analisi degli articoli e delle traduzioni pubblicati sulle riviste con la corrispondenza edita e inedita dei redattori, l'articolo intende rivalutare la relazione tra Sud e Il Politecnico e l'effettivo engagement delle due redazioni attraverso le traduzioni. L'analisi delle due reti intellettuali e dei due progetti culturali ristabilisce la rilevanza di Sud nello stimolare un dialogo transnazionale e riconsidera il ruolo della traduzione nella formazione dell'identità politica dei redattori. In ultima istanza, l'articolo offre una prospettiva geo-culturale della nozione di impegno nell'Italia dell'immediato dopoguerra, identificando le sue identità multiple, sia nazionali sia transnazionali. … (more)
